Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo‘s time with the Las Vegas Raiders lasted one year. To say it was a disaster would be an understatement.
The Raiders, as many suspected, struggled with Jimmy G as their starter. The former 49ers signal-caller also struggled with injuries. Combined, it all led to his eventual benching.
One person who had a hand in his benching appears to be Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams.
In the new Netflix show Receiver, Adams admitted that he signed off on the move.
“Well my opinion on that, was I signed off on that. And that’s just the reality of it,” he said. “You know, I love Jimmy and he’s a great guy, but something had to happen in order for us to have a stretch and in order for me to remain a Raider, in all honesty.”
It also appears that the Raiders coaching staff listened to Adams.
Although the team didn’t make the playoffs, they played better under quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who Adams thinks will be the starter in Week 1 this season.
“I want whoever is going to look the best when it’s live bullets,” Adams said. “I think right now if I had to say, I think Aidan has the job because obviously he was here before and that’s the way that it was. He was running with the ones more and until Gardner comes in and takes the job away from him, I think it’s Aidan’s job right now.”
